Running into a celebrity is one of those rare occasions for most people, especially if you don't live in a big city or near a film and TV hotspot like New York, Hollywood, or Los Angeles. Sure, there are events, meet and greets, book signings, and similar, but the actual chances of just bumping into a celebrity totally unplanned are slim to none.
In this post we have a collection of people who ran into a celebrity totally impromptu, giving them the surprise of their lives. I actually had one of these chance encounters a few years back in 2012 when I bumped into rapper Lil' Dicky on a beach in San Francisco. Heck, my dog even ended up in his Kickstarter video. -
